Single Mom...again?

It's nice to meet you, I'm Ashley. I am a single Mom to my sweet little boy, and I've pretty much gotten the whole single Mama thing down. I love him so much, and when he's with me I am so happy. He lives with me everyother week, and with his Dad the other weeks. I am very thankful that his Dad wants to be in his life...

I met my boyfriend at school, we're both art students. He is so wonderful, he treats me well (something I have never had before). His two kids (from a previous marriage) and my little boy love playing together, and when we are all together everything feels so natural and so happy.

Yesterday I went to an Obgyn appointment because we wanted to get on birth control, and I also have a slight prolapse of my bladder and wanted to start the process of having surgery to correct it. Within twenty minutes of being there I found out that I'm about four weeks pregnant. I was reallly scared but happy until I told my boyfriend. Now he's very distant, tells me that he doesn't want to have a baby with me and a lot of things that are very hurtful. I'm absolutely terrified. I know that he is in a very stressful position right now with everything that has happened in his life in the last few months, but, I can't believe that I may be doing this all by myself again...I'm praying over and over that this is him attempting to process all of this and that everything will be okay.

I hope everything works out for you. I was dating my baby's dad and we split up a week before I found out. I told him and at first he wanted to meet up and talk about it then a few days later I asked him when was goid for him and he told me that I never told him that I was for sure pregnant (which I did, I wouldn't have bothered saying anything unless I knew for sure) then he proceeded to tell me he wanted a paternity test which I agreed to do once the baby is born. I know for a fact it is his so I don't have a problem with it. Then he just became nasty and said I was trying to guilt trip him into taking responsibilty. So I told him I would just talk to him in late June or early July when it was time for the paternity test and that was if I decided to spend time on tracking him down. So now I haven't spoke to him since October. I have two son's already from my ex-husband so I am a little stressed about doing it alone but I would much rather not have to deal with someone who seems like they will just cause me more stress about the situation.

I am single again with baby #2 on the way. My daughter is 11 and I love her with all my heart. Her dad is very ill and she hasn't seen him since she was a baby. I didn't know the dad of this baby very long. So after I told him I was pregnant he ditched me faster then a ant after candy! he even changed his e-mail address and I think he even moved!....geeze whats wrong with these guys?? its a baby not a alien. I am bummed I am doing this alone again, however have excepted that maybe its for the best. I know your hurt, but just think of how stressful it would be if he stayed when he didnt want to. I pray he will come around for you and yur baby to come.

Ladies I have a ten yr old and an 8 month old and sharing custody with my oldest but not the baby, the baby dad told me to get rid of it but I chose not to. Now I'm doing it 100% alone I'm tired and stressed but less stress with dealing with a dad that wanted nothing to do with us. So keep your heads up and message me I'm living proof it can be done.
